HAIR-WAVING IMPLEMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 29, 96.

Application 1ed December 27, 1915. Serial No. 68,750.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER JLICHER, a citizen of the United. States, and a resident of Flushing, in the county of Queens and State ot' New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hair- Waving Implements, of which the following is a specification. y

T his invention relates to an implement of novel construction by means of which the human hair may be formed into so called Marcel waves, which will retain their shape for a long period of time. The implement may be manipulated in a simple manner, either by a hair dresser, or by the wearer of the hair tobe waved. n

In the accompanying drawing: Figure l is a perspective view of a hair waving implement, embodying my invention; Fig. 2 a front view; Fig. 3, a rear view; Fig. 4, a side View; Fig. 5, across section on line 5 5, Fig. 2,-and Fig. 6, a detail showing the looped string by which the implement is suspended from the hair.

The device comprises essentially, a flat bar 1, along the back and front of which eX- tend longitudinal ribs 2 and 3. From the face of the har, and at opposite sides of rib 3, there project two longitudinal rows of protuberances 4, between which a channel 5 is formed. Each protuberance 4: has a convex outer face and a flat inner face that joins the outer face at a sharp edge so that the protuberance is of elongated or segmental shape in cross section. The correlation of the parts is such that the protuberances of one row break line and overlap those of the other row, from which 4they are separatedby the channel 5. At each of its ends, bar 1 has a contracted neck to form a head 6, and opposite the two terminal protuberances 4, there extends from the bar, a pin 7, the duplication of the heads and pins making the device reversible.

In use, a tress of hair 8, is tied up near its root, by a string 9, and then the bar 1 is tied to the tress by means of the same string, which is looped around upper head 6. The hair is then laid alternately over ,the rounded faces of opposed consecutive protuberances 4, folded around lower pin 7 and returned over the same course for a distance determined by the length of the tress. Finally, a

plug 10 is pressed into channel 5, at the end of the tress, by means of which the hair becomes locked against unwinding. Inasmuch as the protuberances of the opposed rowsconveX outer sides, and corners at the ends of said outer sides, the protuberances of one row overlapping those of the other row.

2. A hair waving implement comprising a bar, twofrows of overlapping convex protuberances projecting from one of its faces, a channel between said rows of protuberances,4 and a plug adapted to be ittedinto said channel. v

PETER JLICHER.
